D                                    C
When the world starts to get you down
                                G
And nothing seems to go your way
                                 A
And the noise of a maddening crowd
                                         D
Makes you feel like you're going to go insane

D                                C
There's a glow of a distant light
                           G
Calling you to come outside
                               A
To feel the wind in your face and your skin
                          D
And it's here I begin my story

D                C
Turn up the radio
                 G
Turn up the radio
                           A
Don't ask me where I wanna go
                          D
We gotta turn up the radio

D                               C
It was time that I opened my eyes
                           G
I'm leaving the past behind
                           A
Nothing's ever what it seems
                                     D
Including this time and this crazy dream

D                               C
I'm stuck like a moth to a flame
                                 G
I'm so tired of playing this game
                         A
I don't know how I got to this stage
                               D
Let me out of my cage cause I'm dying

D                   C
To turn up the radio
                 G
Turn up the radio
                         A
Don't ask me where I wanna go
                    D
We gotta turn up the radio

D                C
Turn up the radio
                 G
Turn up the radio
                          A
Don't ask me where I wanna go
                    D
We gotta turn up the radio

D                       C
I just wanna get in my car
                          G
I wanna go fast and I gotta go far
                              A
Don't ask me to explain how I feel
                                   D
Cause I don't wanna say where I'm going
D                      C
Turn up the noise and turn up the volume
                G
Don't have a choice

Cause the temperature's pounding
                                A
If leaving this place is the last thing I do

Then I want to escape
                     D
With a person just like you

D                                    C
Buzzing around like a moth to a flame
                                          G
I'm so sick and tired of playing this game
                                 A
We gotta have fun if that's all that we do

Gotta shake up the system

And break all the rules

Gotta turn up the radio
                    D
Until the speakers blow!

D                C

There's some things you don't need to know
